Thread: Fitting self closing draw slides

Gidday Lols and welcome.
Not being overly experienced with this I would go to the manufacturer's web site, and I'm sure there will be mounting instructions somewhere.
Cheers

Fit them so that the drawer stops at the runner stop. That way the drawer front will not be taking any shock loads. But in saying that there will be very soft shock due to the action of the runner. The only other comment is to fit the runner dead square to the cupboard front. This could be noticeable in your application with the drawer front finishing flush with the cupboard front. You won't be sorry using them as they are a great invention

Thanks for your time and help on this guys. Very much appreciated. I did manage to download the fitting instructions from the web but they only seem to mention the fitting of draw fronts that rest on the cabinet front at close ie the typical kitchen concept.. I could not find a reference to Inserted or flush draw fronts.. I think as suggested i will go ahead and fit them so that when they are in the fully closed position the draw front will be in its correct alignment.

I didn't think of this when I purchased the self closing slides...real magic stuff, compared to the standard slides

Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this.. It's amazing how much you find out that you don't know when you go to do something new! Much appreciated Lols.

Those soft close runners are a bit of good gear. Just one addition bit of advice is to be sure the runners in the carcase are at 90 degrees/square to the face of the carcase.
